Patients with early to moderate gum disease (gingivitis or periodontitis) benefit most from this deep-cleaning treatment.
The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia, ensuring comfort while thoroughly cleaning below the gumline.
Most patients experience mild soreness for a few days, but healing happens quickly with proper at-home care.
